“tonight I would like to read just a few paragraphs from an article written by Mona Charen, who is a well-known journalist here in Washington, DC, and around this Nation. The title of her article: ``Is the Marine Corps P.C.?'' PC meaning political correct. ``Second Lieutenant Ilario Pantano was making a six-figure income as an energy trader with Goldman Sachs in New York when the World Trade Center was attacked. Pantano had friends who worked in the Twin Towers and friends among the firefighters who perished trying to save them. ``This Marine veteran had already served his country in the first Gulf War, set aside his career, which also included work in film and television, kissed his wife and two children good-bye, and headed to Quantico, Virginia, for officer training school.'' I continue Ms. Charen's comments in her article: ``A Marine Corps colleague asked, `How many guys do you know who would drop 100 grand a year to go sleep in fighting holes in the nasty mud and dust for, what, 25 grand a year?' ``There are a few, and the rest of us owe them more than we can possibly express, which is why it is shocking to learn that Pantano may now be facing murder charges.''”
